On this Date in 1864

Posted on 12/16/2018 11:53:24 AM PST by Bull Snipe

Outside of Nashville TN. General George H. Thomas’s Army of the Cumberland delivers a devastating flank attack against Confederate General John B. Hood’s Army of Tennessee. Cheatham’s Corp on the left flank of Hood’s forces collapse in the onslaught. Within hours, Hood’s army is in full retreat. The AOT combat at Franklin and Nashville had reduced the Army’s strength to about 18,000 men. In January,1865, the remnants of the Army of Tennessee would be transferred East to South Carolina. There they would try to stop General Sherman’s Army advancing through the Carolinas.

Once my old regiment broke the German back at Vimy ridge it was over. A Canadian general invented the rolling artillery barrage and negated enemies trench lines. Don’t get me wrong, it’s always a great thing to have more allies, but Wilson only wanted in so he could push his globalist agenda.

I mentioned in another post, the only reason he got in was so he could push his globalist agenda. Those one world government types have been at this game for a very long time.

I told you we love Canadians, and that was before I knew how great you are! ;-)

Have a great day, eh?

"It's big ... very, very big ... "

Thanks! 90 feet tall! The Lincoln statue sits 19 feet tall, and if Ol' Abe stood up he'd be 38 feet tall.
That's what Bulwyf's link article complains about -- Lincoln "deified" in a "godlike statue".

So I pointed out that other Presidents also have very large statue-memorials and now you've made my point in spades -- Confederates' descendants deified their own leaders with the biggest bas-relief in the world.

Typical Democrats, Lost Causers accuse others of the very things which they themselves are most guilty.

No shame.
